  6. Storage • Capacity is the number of bytes a storage medium can hold Page 354 Figure 7-2 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  7. Storage • A storage deviceis the computer hardware that records and/or retrieves items to and from storage media Page 354 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  8. Storage • Access timemeasures: • The amount of time it takes a storage device to locate an item on a storage medium • The time required to deliver an item from memory to the processor Page 355 Figure 7-4 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  9. Hard Disks • A hard diskcontains one or more inflexible, circular platters that use magnetic particles to store data, instructions, and information Page 355 Figure 7-5 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  10. Hard Disks • Hard disks can store data using longitudinal recording or perpendicular recording Page 356 Figure 7-6 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  11. Hard Disks • Characteristics of a hard disk include: Page 357 Figure 7-8 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  12. Hard Disks • Formattingis the process of dividing the disk into tracks and sectors so that the operating system can store and locate data and information on the disk Page 357 Figure 7-7 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  13. Hard Disks Page 358 Figure 7-9 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  14. Hard Disks • The hard disk arms move the read/write head, which reads items and writes items in the drive • Location often is referred to by its cylinder Page 358 Figure 7-10 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  15. Hard Disks • A head crash occurs when a read/write head touches the surface of a platter • Always keep a backup of your hard disk Pages 358 – 359 Figure 7-11 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  16. Hard Disks Page 359 Figure 7-12 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  17. Hard Disks • RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a group of two or more integrated hard disks • A network attached storage(NAS) device is a server connected to a network with the sole purpose of providing storage Page 360 Figure 7-13 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  18. Hard Disks Pages 360 – 361 Figures 7-14 – 7-15 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  19. Hard Disks • A disk controller consists of a special-purpose chip and electronic circuits that control the transfer of data, instructions, and information from a disk to and from the system bus and other components of the computer Pages 361 - 362 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  20. Flash Memory Storage • Flash memory chips are a type of solid state media and contain no moving parts • Solid state drives (SSDs) have several advantages over magnetic hard disks: Pages 362 - 363 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  30. Optical Discs • An optical disc consists of a flat, round, portable disc made of metal, plastic, and lacquer that is written and read by a laser • Typically store software, data, digital photos, movies, and music • Read only vs. rewritable Page 370 Figure 7-25 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  31. Optical Discs Page 370 Figure 7-26 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  32. Optical Discs • Optical discs commonly store items in a single track that spirals from the center of the disc to the edge • Track is divided into evenly sized sectors Page 371 Figure 7-27 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7

  33. Optical Discs • Care of optical discs Page 371 Figure 7-28 Discovering Computers 2012: Chapter 7
